    First time at Gayu-Kaku and wasn’t the best experience. We were waiting and sitting at our table for about 15-20 minutes until our server even acknowledged us. Then many things on the menu were not available. But what we ordered the food was good but service just wasn’t there. We would wait a while before she would even check in on us or bring us drinks. So, we wanted to order more food but kept on waiting so we decided to leave. It was disappointing because we were celebrating Father’s Day.

    we got one of the preset meals for three people, and it was so much food! The staff was attentive, and our orders came out very quickly. The s’mores dessert at the end of our meal was a lovely treat.

    The value and the quality of the food was excellent. If you’re not familiar with the menu, it can be a little daunting, but it’s well worth it. I would highly recommend. A large family. It was very price friendly.
